Here’s what you should know about getting board-certified Colorado Springs bunions care at Intermountain Foot & Ankle:
A bunion is a protrusion of bone or tissue around a joint. Bunions may occur at the base of the great toe or at the base of the little toe, and often occur when the joint is stressed over a period of time. Women are more frequently affected because they may wear tight, pointed, and confining shoes. Bunions can also be a result of arthritis which often affects the big toe joint.
Treatment of bunions may vary depending on the pain and deformity. Treatment may include:
- wearing comfortable, well-fitting footwear (particularly shoes that conform to the shape of the foot and do not cause pressure areas)
- surgery (for pain, not for cosmetic purposes)
- applying pads to the affected area
- medication such as ibuprofen
